Garrett, who is expected to be one of the top picks in the 2017 NFL Draft, played at less that 100 percent against Alabama on Oct. 22. He registered seven total tackles in the 33-14 loss in Tuscaloosa.

Garrett missed a game against South Carolina earlier in the season. He suffered a high ankle sprain against Arkansas on Sept. 24.

This likely is a move to give Garrett a chance to heal for the remainder of the season, as the Aggies are extremly heavy favorites against New Mexico State.
